Staff AI/ Data Scientist – Supply Chain AI (Small Language Models)  

At Avathon, we build AI products that solve real industrial problems at scale. We believe the future of enterprise AI lies in small, focused, high-performance models—deeply grounded in domain context—not just large, generic systems. 

We’re looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our Supply Chain AI team in India. In this role, you’ll design, fine-tune, and deploy optimized Small Language Models (SLMs) that power production-grade AI features across logistics, planning, inventory, and demand forecasting. 

What Makes This Role Unique 

This is a product-first data science role. You won’t just build models—you’ll own how they show up in real products used by large enterprises. Your work becomes the intelligence layer that sits on top of our graph and indexing systems and directly drives customer outcomes. 

What You’ll Do 

• Build and fine-tune SLMs/LLMs for production use cases such as semantic search, forecasting, contract intelligence, and conversational insights. Optimize models for performance, cost, and latency using PEFT, quantization, and efficient inference techniques
